While sometimes the home page of this website goes a bit of time before one of us updates it, the GMDGC Forum pages are almost always hoping with activity. So, as I get back to updating this home page more often again, I thought I would start occasionally highlighting great stuff from the Forum too. First Up:

2011 GMDGC Scouting Report (Pro Division)
by JustinVT

This year’s AM1 Wood Chuck Cider Green Mountain Point Series winner, Justin Kaulius, decided to lay out his take on next year’s Vermont Pro Circuit. Not only does he predict the top five, he details exactly why he choose these people and placed them where they’re at. It’s fun, light hearted and it wouldn’t surprise me if it turns out remarkably accurate. Here’s a taste:

Expect to continue to see Johnny (Betts) dominate the northern tournaments that he hosts. His experience at those courses plus his mid-range dominance will be enough to put him on top of some leader boards this year. But, reminiscent of not qualifying for enough NEFA points the year the finals was held in his own state, don’t expect to see Johnny at many tournaments in 2011.

Expect to see Chris Young ready for 2011. He’ll be off to a hot start, mark my words on that one. But, being in the cross hairs all season isn’t an easy position to be in.

…

Dave’s done it all for the GMDGC in the past few years and only has a 4th place finish in 2011 to show for it. I know you won’t give me credit, but you heard it here first, 2011 is Dave Frothingham’s year.

And in the comments, Frothy responds with his own predictions. Here’s a sample:

I foresee alot of ties for second and third making the race for overall pro win tight. Darkhorse Emmit Cosgrove, an unknown to most GMDGC players, will also make a strong run for the overall title.

Well, not quite everything but he took the Orange Division title and cool glass trophy made by Chris Sherwin AND he had the only ACE on hole 11. Nice job Andy- we knew you could win a tournament!!

HELP INSTALL A NEW DISC GOLF COURSE AT VERGENNES UNION HIGH SCHOOL

VUHS has received approval and funding to install a basic disc golf course on the school grounds. The course is geared toward casual use for both elementary and high school students with a focus on the beginner disc golfer. A couple of folks from the local disc golf community have helped them plan this out and now is the time to install the baskets. They are putting in Discatchers with locking sleeves so the primary objective will be to get the holes dug (with a powered post hole digger) and the sleeves set in cement in each of the holes. If there is extra help we will also help assemble the baskets for installation. This is a great opportunity to help share disc golf with the next generation.

WHEN: This Sunday, Aug 29. We plan to start at 8:30am. If you can be on-time that would be great. However we expect to be working into the afternoon so if you can join us at a later time – that would be great as well.

WHERE: Vergennes Union High School (50 Monkton Road Vergennes, VT 05491). When you enter the school driveway – stay to your right and drive into the parking lot to the right (west) of the high school. We will be gathering on the near edge of the playing fields just beyond this parking lot.
